#40492 [NEW]: property_exists called in parent class doesn work on private property of subcla

From: rpg at terry-pratchett dot info Operating system: debian sarge PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: property_exists called in parent class doesn work on private property of subcla Description: ------------ The property_exists function returns true on private properties if called within a class. That doesn't work, if it is called in a function of a parent class. If you overload the function in the childclass it works, but this is actually not the idea behind OOP ;-) Reproduce code: --------------- <? class x { private $x; public function prop ($p) { return property_exists($this,$p); } } class y extends x { private $y; } $x = new x; echo 'prop(x): '.$x->prop('x').'<br>'; $y = new y; echo 'prop(y): '.$y->prop('y').'<br>'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- you should see prop(x): 1 prop(y): 1 Actual result: -------------- prop(x): 1 prop(y): -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40492&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40492&r=mysqlcfg
